We absolutely always love our stays here! Their cleanliness of the rooms and the property is amazing. The upkeep of the pool and gym is wonderful, always nice and clean. The breakfast is awesome as usual, the lady that does the breakfast takes a lot of pride in her food and it never disappoints. The manager William is just exceptional and always friendly and eager to please, he is always super helpful. We have never had a bad experience staying here and the location is great! I highly recommend

I stayed over Christmas and they were so wonderful. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly. I had a room facing the bay and it was so nice. Plenty of towels and the room was very clean!!! I highly recommend staying here.
